Because Xu Tingsheng didn't mention Zhou Yuandai's matter, Xu's father understood that Xu Tingsheng's reason for slowing down was probably because Xiang Ning was still young, and he was afraid that she didn't really understand what feelings were like, and that she would regret it one day... So , give her time.
This is actually a responsible attitude. At least Dad Xu thought so, so he agreed.
When the father and son returned home, they also lied to Xu's mother... saying that Xu Tingsheng was fine, but he felt a little unwell, so they had no choice but to decline the engagement ceremony. If it wasn't like this, if Xu Tingsheng dared to suspend the engagement, Mother Xu would have to kill him.
The relatives and friends naturally have their mothers to inform them, anyway, she was the one who started the matter.
The Land Rover with a scratched front was parked in the yard, Mama Xu believed it, and no one believed it.
Dad Xu called Xiang's family, explained the situation and apologized.
The Xiang family had no emotions. They knew how much Xu Tingsheng was willing to part with Xiang Ning, and their relatives could see it, so they wouldn't be suspicious. Xiang's father and Xiang's mother were only worried, and their mood fluctuated a lot. Xu Tingsheng quickly picked up the phone and personally explained that he was fine, it was just a minor injury, and he would be fine after a few days of rest.
And in a few days, Xiang Ning will start school.
"It's good, it's good, it's good, have you checked? What did the doctor say? Why did you drive so carelessly, where did you hit? You said you had to rush back, you..." Xiang Ma said.
"I've checked, I..." Xu Tingsheng just wanted to comfort him.
"Wow… "
Xiang Ning's cry came from the receiver, and she heard what Xiang's mother said.
Xu Tingsheng heard the commotion over there for a while, and then Xiang Ning's crying voice came from the phone, "How are you doing? You... woo..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just hit the side of the road." Xu Tingsheng said quickly.
"It's okay, you're all hurt. Huh..."
Hearing that Xiang Ning was so sad, Xu Tingsheng really wanted to say, I'm actually fine, let's get engaged.
But he can't.
After trying to adjust his mood, Xu Tingsheng said, "It's just a little injury, just rest for two days. It's just that our engagement ceremony is going to be postponed, won't you be unhappy?"
"How?! You're all injured." Xiang Ning choked up a few times and said, "Don't worry. Come sooner, later, I'm yours anyway."
These words inadvertently gave Xu Tingsheng great comfort and encouragement. Yes, so what about Zhou Yuandai? It's just the difference of being sooner or later, I don't believe in rebirth, she can still stop me from being with Xiang Ning.
"Take your time, if you force me again, I will definitely kill her." Xu Tingsheng thought. Because Zhou Yuandai threatened Xiang Ning, Xu Tingsheng had to compromise temporarily, but it was also because of this that he became murderous.
"You must be in pain now, I won't disturb you. I'll come and see you tomorrow morning." Xiang Ning said.
Xu Tingsheng quickly said: "Don't come, I really have a small problem. I went to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor said I'm fine. You see, I'm already home. I don't even need to be hospitalized for observation."
"Liar. You are afraid that I will worry."
"Really, don't you think it's easy for me to talk to you?"
"... Then are you really okay?"
"Really, I just need to rest for two days."
"Um."
"Then don't worry, let alone come to see me, I'll be back to Yanzhou in a few days."
"Well. Then you have a good rest."
"Okay, don't worry, good night."
"Good night."
…
Xu Tingsheng lay down all night pretending to be injured, the whole morning and the whole afternoon, and ate several pots of tonic cooked by his mother... He answered countless condolence calls including Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng.
It was hard to get through until my mother went out.
Sister Jia was too busy shopping, so Zhong Wusheng brought her twin daughters Zhong Lin and Zhong Li to visit him. After finding out that there was nothing wrong with him, Dad Xu called him over to talk about Huanbu.
Only Xu Tingsheng and Zhong Lin and Zhong Li, who were pink and tender, were left in the room. The two little girls were very well-behaved, lying on the bedside and vaguely telling stories to Xu Tingsheng.
After staying for a while, Zhong Wusheng hadn't come back yet, Xu Ting was afraid that they would be bored, he looked around and found no one was there, so he sneaked out of bed and took the two little girls to the backyard.
He played football with them.
The laughter of the two little girls was as crisp as a bell, which made Xu Tingsheng feel much better.
…
The taxi stopped, and the driver pointed to the villa not far away and said, "That's the Xu family. Sigh, do you really know the Xu family?"
"Yeah." Xiang Ning got out of the car and put her schoolbag on her back. Xu Tingsheng said no, but she came anyway, why don't you feel relieved? Because she was afraid that the uncle would stop her, she didn't even call first.
"Let me tell you, when Xu Tingsheng was studying, he took my car. The city here is small, and taxis are contacted by phone except for the station... So, he may still have I'm calling. If you want to talk about Xu Tingsheng..."
"Thank you master, I'll be leaving first." Xiang Ning waved her hand and fled quickly.
In fact, since she got on the bus at the station and said she was looking for the Xu family, the driver had already talked about his relationship with the Xu family. It's not that Xiang Ning doesn't want to listen, it's just that she's really anxious, and she's a little tired after going all the way from Yanzhou to Jiannan, then changing trains to Libei, and then looking for Xu's family.
"By the way, little girl, what kind of relative are you from the Xu family?" The driver still shouted enthusiastically behind him.
"Daughter-in-law." Xiang Ning replied as she walked.
"ah?"
The driver was stunned for a while, then excited... He had a relationship with the Xu family again, and it was big news.
"Let me tell you, the Xu family's daughter-in-law came to our Libei for the first time, and she took my car. The little girl is so beautiful, no wonder she got into the Xu family's eyes..." He thought of his words.
Xiang Ning stood in front of Xu's house and rang the doorbell twice.
no response.
Xiang Ning, who was anxious to see Xu Tingsheng, heard the laughter of children behind the house, and walked half a circle along the courtyard wall...
She was standing at a high place, looked down and saw Xu Tingsheng.
Raising her arms, Xiang Ning was about to call him.
Then, she saw Xu Tingsheng carrying the two little girls one by one, walking around the yard...
The child's crisp laughter reached his ears.
"Isn't he... injured?" Xiang Ning froze for a moment.
After watching Xu Tingsheng who was playing wildly with Zhong Lin and Zhong Li for a while, it was obvious that he didn't look injured at all.
"Then why?"
Xiang Ning didn't know what to do.
Because she was afraid that Xu Tingsheng would see her, she retreated from the high place, walked a little farther, and found a rock to sit down on.
It's hard not to think about this situation.
"He lied to me... because he regretted it?"
With her arms resting on her knees, and her little face buried up... Xiang Ning cried.
